Great place! Stayed just one short night and Mark was very kind in meeting us personally to show us the location and making sure we had all information and local recommendations. Even gave us fresh tomatos from the garden! The apartment was well cared and full of amenities, whether bathroom toiletries, or a kitchen stocked with basics. Great trip

Lainey2016-08-13T00:00:00Z

Mark's place is really lovely. It has everything you could need for a short stay. The place is well located near Swarthmore - we were visiting - and suburban Philly. Very charming furnishings and well stocked. Mark is easy to communicate with. Would stay again.

Kate2017-04-18T00:00:00Z

Great place to stay. Meditation room too!

David2017-01-14T00:00:00Z

Nice place, convenient to the airport.

Sandra2017-04-03T00:00:00Z

Our host was very welcoming and communicated extremely well with scheduling our arrival. He wanted to make our stay as comfortable as possible and succeeded by leaps and bounds. The location and description of what we were to expect was very accurate to what was listed. It snowed the night we stayed and our host was kind enough to brush the snow off our vehicle prior to our departure, much to our surprise. It was a very kind gesture on his part. The kitchen was very well equipped with a microwave, hot plate, coffee machine, an assortment of teas, an ice maker, small refrigerator, toaster oven, paper products, utensils, etc. There were beautiful orchids throughout the rooms as well as other plants. The room was very light and airy and had a wonderful bed for us to sleep on after a long car ride. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay with Mark and would do it again.

Louis2016-03-04T00:00:00Z

We had a very good experience staying with Mark. He was a wonderful and accommodating host, would definitely recommend his place to anyone visiting Swarthmore.

Saisha2016-03-29T00:00:00Z

I felt very welcomed, and Mark's reception was very personal. He was very flexible with my arrival, since the drive took longer than expected. His house is charming and unique. Although I arrived for my son's parent's weekend , I did not feel like leaving premises when I woke up after my first night. The bedding is very comfortable, the birds around are colorful, the location is beautiful, the host is interesting. I would come back.

Yelena2016-11-01T00:00:00Z

We loved being at Mark's place, which was in a quiet, wooded neighborhood in Swarthmore (which we also enjoyed). He made us feel welcome in every way, from providing us with yummy bagels to sharing tickets to a lovely botanical garden with us. We would have liked to stay longer--it felt like home!

My place is close to Harrah's Philadelphia and Widener University. You’ll love my place because of the space! So much room, great for responsible students, or families coming to visit the city, but need some space!. My place is good for couples, business travelers, families (with kids), and big groups.

Everything was as pictured.... clean & well put together. Had no issues with anything.

Riquisha2016-09-24T00:00:00Z

Thank you! Close to most of the attractions and great for large groups.

5 out of 5 stars. Would stay again! Rafa was a great host. Very prompt responses to any questions. Looks exactly like the pictures

Barton2017-03-16T00:00:00Z

Rafael's place was perfect for our family of 5. We had plenty of room for everyone to move around and be comfortable. It was a perfect home away from home and made us feel like we were home. The kids even kept saying it was home to them. I would highly recommend this home to anyone.

Frankie2017-03-30T00:00:00Z

it's a such good place.

Zhiyuan2017-02-10T00:00:00Z

Overall, this is a decent home at a good price. But. Parking is hard to find, only 2 towels were given for 6 people, and no wash cloths. There is no hand soap in the bath rooms, and there was no hand towel in the guest bathroom. The trash under give kitchens sink and dishwasher hadn't been emptied. We found a dirty sock and had dirty floors. Improvements are needed.

Linda2017-05-25T00:00:00Z

Rafael was very easy to communicate with and i had my questions answered very quickly. The house itself is on a quiet street and is very nice and clean inside. One of the cleanest AirBnbs I've ever stayed in.

Houstonia Mansion is an impressive 27-room mansion house built in 1921 by the, then, Mayor of Chester, Mr Howard Houston. It is idyllically situated in Houston Park, a 45 acre park of rambling trails along Ridley Creek. It is 15 minutes from PHL airport, and 25 minutes from Center City, Philadelphia.

We love our home, and the all the original elements that make it what it is. We respect the history that it reveals, and hope our guests do too.

The only thing cooler than this house is the family that lives inside! Thoughtful and considerate. Truly a pleasurable stay.

joleen2017-04-02T00:00:00Z

The mansion was gorgeous and was very nostalgic. The house is huge and was a pleasure to stay in. There are hiking paths and a little stream on the property. I liked the little accents like the original toilet from the early 1900s and fire hoses in the hallways. Everything was clean and we had plenty of towels. I wish I could have stayed longer to enjoy the scenery. Breakfast consisted of cereal, fruit, cinnamon rolls and a couple other items. Overall, I enjoyed my stay and would definitely recommend!

Josh2017-04-23T00:00:00Z

It was a beautiful home in a lovely setting and the host included many thoughtful details. I would highly recommend it.

Patricia2017-03-26T00:00:00Z

If you're looking for extraordinary place to stay, the Mansion is your answer. It was a wonderful experience from the minute we entered this gorgeous home. My friend and I walked the path in back through the woods and so enjoyed the gorgeous scenery. The rooms are neat, clean, with comfy beds. Andrea was the perfect hostess. Oh my goodness, the breakfast was delicious. She goes way out of her way to make her guests feel welcomed. I just can't say enough about the Mansion. We will be back. That's for sure!

Anne2017-05-07T00:00:00Z

Wonderful old mansion at the end of a quiet residential road. Convenient to Philadelphia Airport

Lloyd2017-07-24T00:00:00Z

Absolutely wonderful stay and it was actually heartbreaking to have to leave. Andrea and her family were incredible hosts and made us feel welcome in every way. The mansion is beautiful, historic and filled with the warm personality of it’s residents. There are many little details and moments that will stay with us as very fond memories, but none more than wonderful family we met there.

Cris2017-06-16T00:00:00Z

Qian2017-05-16T00:00:00Z

This was my first airbnb and honestly it was so much better then I expected it tobe. The host was awesome, and really understandable, oh and friendly. Ontop of that, if I needed anything or had any questions she was quick to respond to it. Great stay, hope to have the same experience with other airbnb stays!

Karen's place was quite and comfortable enough. The room was a little dusty but not a deal breaker for the price. She was courteous and pleasant. I would stay again.

Jeff2017-09-06T00:00:00Z

I highly recommend Karen and Debs home to anyone who is traveling in the Wallingford Pennsylvania area. I enjoyed my stay.

Laura2017-02-28T00:00:00Z

I had a great experience here. I was working all day into the night and there were no issues with hours of arrival or departure. I had to extend my stay an extra night which was my fault, but they were very accommodating. They had a dog and 2 cats who were darlings. Would book again!

A comfortable room for two in a lovely 1905 mission-style house. A short walk to the Swarthmore College campus or the train to Philadelphia and the airport. Queen bed with private bathroom, with central air and wifi. Includes continental breakfast.

Charming private room for two in a quiet, tree-lined neighborhood, surrounded by nature. Enjoy a continental breakfast in the fully landscaped rear garden or on the 2nd floor porch that puts you at eye-level with the birds and the tallest beech trees in town.
Conveniently located near Philadelphia Airport: a short walk (3 blocks or so) gets you to the train into the City. Stroll around the Swarthmore College campus, a nationally recognized arboretum. If you like, we can arrange pick-up and drop-off at the Airport, which is a 12 minute drive away.
We have two small, friendly well-behaved dogs who are kept out of your room (though they love new people), and who can be kept entirely out of your way if you'd rather.

Swarthmore is a lovely small town - interesting stores, excellent co-op grocery store, coffee spot, etc. It's entirely walkable. In addition, we are a half hour to Philadelphia, Longwood Gardens, Winterthur and the rest of the Brandywine Valley, the King of Prussia shopping complex, and Valley Forge. The College offers many lectures and performances during the school year, and all are free of charge.

The rental was easy to book, and find in the neighborhood. The front yard was lighted and there was ice water in the room. Susan's husband greeted me, showed me the space, and allowed me to relax after the day's travel. Even their two dogs greeted me affectionately! I was able to do just what I needed, arrive on my schedule and leave early for the conference. Flawless travel experience!

Matthew2015-10-16T00:00:00Z

Staying in Susan's attractive room is a complete pleasure. The house is quiet and peaceful, the room is pristine and the bathroom comfortable and modern. There are many wonderful touches, toiletries as needed, cosy hand-sewn quilts, plenteous pillows, warm and bright lamps, and a delicious, healthy breakfast. We are returning soon for another travel event!

Mary T.2016-02-23T00:00:00Z

A restful and restorative stay! The house has an atmosphere of peace, which also stems from the beautiful surroundings and the lovely art and crafts that make up the harmonious environment. Susan and Robert are excellent hosts. We will be back!

Christine2017-09-04T00:00:00Z

Terri's apartment is fantastic for a single or couples while in the area, especially for work if you're like me. The living room provided plenty of comfy space to stretch out and catch a movie after you cook a meal in her modern kitchen excellently stocked with all the utensils you'll need to cook a wonderful meal. She was kind enough to provide snacks and a few minor groceries that were waiting for me when I arrived, a truly caring woman. I had a slight issue with the Wi-Fi my first night, but Terri sorted out the issue immediately after I brought it up, within an hour I was up and running and never had another issue. There are two large roku smart TVs, one in the living room and one in the bedroom, something that can tend to be lacking in an airbnb so I was delighted when I saw them both. With the privacy of an entire apartment to yourself, at the cost she charges, not to mention the amenities, I know who to get in touch with if I ever find myself back in the area.

Please understand that we prefer multiple night stays vs single nights. We have made exceptions on occasion, but prefer multiple nights or a two-night stay minimum.
Ideal for a romantic getaway, or to visit the many historic and cultural sites in the area, or for visiting college students or parents. Visiting professors and medical students performing residencies at area hospitals will find an ideal, quiet retreat to study or simply unwind and rest.
Beautiful, original wide plank hardwood floors warm your private, two level space.
The lower level on the second floor of The Foreman House is one open space including a recently-renovated, full kitchen, dining and living area with a quaint, cast-iron gas stove.
The upper level on the third floor is one open space that includes a beautifully furnished, romantic bedroom with quaint, cast-iron gas stove, and a vintage-modernized full bath and soaking tub.
Relax in the modern adirondack chairs on your private deck overlooking the spring-fed waterfall and brook, or walk the beautifully-landscaped and secluded grounds, footbridge, and paths, surrounded on two sides by Springhaven Country Club and the other by Avondale Road and Crum Creek. Walk down Avondale Road along Crum Creek to the creekside park on The Leiper Estate, and visit the The Thomas Leiper House and museum, circa 1785.
The Den of Antiquity offers old world charm and new, modern amenities with a sense of seclusion near Philadelphia International Airport, Swarthmore and its renowned College, Media, Springfield, as well as minutes away from shopping and dining in nearly every direction. The Septa Bus line is a convenient fifty yard walk away, and the Wallingford Station on the Septa Media-Elwyn Rail Line, as well as Swarthmore Station just a few bus stops, and minutes away.
The first floor of The Foreman House and the attached Studio are offices occupied by a design firm from Mondays through Fridays, and are rarely occupied on weekends.

Wallingford and our surrounding area are beautiful and convenient to many activities and attractions. (In 2009, Wallingford was named the Ninth Best Place to Live in the US by Money Magazine.)
There are all manner of restaurants, stores, and such very close by – in Media, Swarthmore, Springfield and every direction, all just minutes away. We have favorites and are glad to provide you a list of those, just let us know what you need or are looking for.
A couple of miles away is the county seat – Media, PA. It’s a quaint little town, the main street is State Street on which there are many great places to eat & drink (URL HIDDEN)
Up & down State Street are lots of good spots - (URL HIDDEN)
Of course Philadelphia is only 20-30 minutes away and has lots to offer. (Philly was named
Philadelphia, the Jersey shore, and scenic rural counties north and west of us are all within, or just over, an hour away.
West Chester or Kennett Square are both worth the visit and have lots of great places to eat & drink. If you want to go to either, we can provide recommendations.

Check in with Bill was very easy, you'll be on your way to an amazing house the moment you arrive. The house is very rustic and charming on the outside, and extremely comfortable, cozy, and modern on the inside with full amenities inside!

Perfect location for our visit to family in the Media area. The house is just as described and we found it clean and ready for our stay. The bed was extremely comfortable and the luxurious linens added a special quality to the experience. We had to work remotely during our stay and the large kitchen table provided ample work space to spread out 2 laptops. The AC units work awesome to cool the entire place down. When a huge storm came through the area and everyone (it seemed) was without power, we navigated our way past downed trees and debris to find the power on at The Foreman House! We'd definitely stay here again when returning the area. Thank you for providing a great oasis away from home!

The Foreman House was lovely! It was clean, spacious, and well decorated and it felt so private tucked back into the trees. I would absolutely recommend it! Such a relaxing getaway.

I booked this location for an employee of mine who was in the Philly area for a 2 weeks training. This is what he had to say: Cozy spot. Secluded area. Easy access to major roads in order to get into Philly or the surrounding areas. Clean, comfortable with lots of amenities. Never had any wifi issues or issues with the cable. The owners really try to have everything you might need there and available. Would definitely recommend this location for use again.

Our stay in this lovely spot was absolutely perfect! Wonderful communication from the hosts; super comfortable, impeccably decorated, and spotless space; and beautiful nature right outside your door. A dream home come true, if only temporarily!

My husband and I really enjoyed our stay at the Den. It's simply, yet beautifully decorated, incredibly charming, extremely comfortable, and very clean. It has all the amenities one could hope for, with a laid back, old timey feel. We loved the original wood floors and gas fireplaces. The location was perfect! Only 20-25 minutes from Philly, and the surrounding towns have plenty of restaurants, bars, shops, etc. Although we did not meet Bill (the host) in person, he was extremely helpful, answering any questions or concerns via text and email. He was also more than happy to make recommendations for us. We will definitely be staying at the Den again on our next visit to PA.

Private entire 3rd floor! Private bathroom. This is a 100 year old stone house. Close to train to Philly. 15 minute drive to Philly. 5 minute drive to the Philadelphia International Airport.
The room has a queen size bed. There is a kitchen in the basement that is for guests. There is also laundry that is for guests only.

The 3rd floor is separate from the rest of the house so it is very private.
Laundry and kitchen in the basement. Swim in the pool or just relax by the pool.

We are outside of Philadelphia. The neighborhood is very safe. We are close to Philly. We are 10 minutes to Delaware and New Jersey state lines.
Longwood Gardens is a 35 minute drive.

My stay with John and Debbie was fabulous. The house is a lovely old farmhouse and the space is very large, with drawers and a closet rack for hanging everything. The bedroom has a nice desk and private bathroom. It is very quiet because it is the entire third floor of the house. John and Debbie were wonderful hosts! Easy to communicate with, warm, friendly, and they took good care of my needs - they stocked the mini fridge with sparkling and still water, offered any kinds of snacks that I needed. I look forward to staying with them again next time I am in Philadelphia!

Very nice. John and Debbie are the nicest people and their home was welcoming and in a great location!

Angela2017-08-01T00:00:00Z

What a wonderful place to stay! I hope to be back!

The parking is phenomenal, a welcome attribute after spending a day in Philly's tough love parking sections or a long haul on the road. John and Debbie are helpful from the moment you say 'request a book' with friendly directions, small comforts and unobtrusive grace with your stay. The third floor is a grand suite, with room enough that my six foot one companion didn't have to duck once. The bed, likewise was great for a taller guest and various charming furniture accents adorn the door. Really, it's classic design with lots of comfy spots, so if you're a fidgeter like me, you'll enjoy sitting at the desk, the hall chair, the bed and the other chair. The bathroom was tidy, filled with towels, and stocked with a few accessories for hygienic use, with a nice deep sink. If you're headed from the airport or doing a cross country drive in, pick this place and be welcomed into a private, pleasant stay!

Absolutely a wonderful place to stay. Very hospitable, John and Debbie. It's a 5 star for sure.

Patrick2017-05-17T00:00:00Z

John and Debbie were amazing hosts and their house is beautiful. The place was very comfortable and it had everything I needed for a two week stay. It is furnished nicely and there was plenty of room for me to unpack and get organized. The kitchen is nicely equipped and I cooked 75% of the time. The laundry is right next to the kitchen in the basement and I was able to multi-task with no problem. The location is excellent. It is close to the train station, airport and to the businesses along Industrial Way such as Boeing and Kimberly Clark. I would definitely stay again.

James2017-05-04T00:00:00Z

John & Debbie were wonderful hosts willing to go the extra mile to accommodate me. I'm pretty tall and the 3rd floor space was plenty large enough for me to comfortably walk around standing up. Great access to the Ridley Park SEPTA train station for quick rides into Philadelphia or New Jersey. I would definitely stay at one of John's properties again if given the chance!

Fantastic host. Always enjoy my time there.

Kristian2017-07-12T00:00:00Z

Has been like a second home. I continue to enjoy my stay here!

Kristian2017-06-14T00:00:00Z

Rebecca is the world's sweetest lady. You will be lucky to become her guest. My stay was the best stay ever. I never felt that I was staying in someone's house. It was more like staying at my own family. She helped me with every possible thing. House was clean and quiet. I hope I will stay here again.

Hassan2017-04-09T00:00:00Z

Amazing place. She is absolutely the best

Rashed2017-01-06T00:00:00Z

Thank you

Rashed2017-01-12T00:00:00Z

Everything was fantastic - the whole experience was welcoming and relaxing. The bed is very comfortable - in my room was a large, high-end inflatable bed that feels like a normal mattress and is standard height, it's not a cheap inflatable guest-bed or creaky old dusty one. Hot breakfast was included, and is highly recommended! Very convenient location, quiet house, very accommodating and comfortable even though areas are shared. Rebecca is a joy to talk with and have as a host.

John2016-10-31T00:00:00Z

Rebecca's place was clean and tidy. Everything was just as she had described. The place was old but quaint. Parking was in a lot behind her home and I didn't have a problem finding a spot at any time. She was friendly and very accommodating. There is only one bathroom in the place so it was a little awkward but nothing that would subtract from the ratings given. I would stay at her place without any hesitation.
